I'll always treasure that trip to Alaska I took with my Uncle Jack, and his friend Beano, and my cousins Tom & Dan....going to see the grizzly bears feed off the salmon before hibernation - a truly fun adventure! There are 2 of his photos from that trip framed and hanging on my walls in my Chicago home. I've always enjoyed his enthusiasm for life! Eileen
